Everywhere you look, video surveillance plays a growing role in the protection of people, property and assets. In 2016, there were nearly 250 million professionally installed security cameras worldwide.

Unfortunately, many security camera systems have software security weaknesses, making them an increasingly popular target of malicious actors. In the two-year period of 2015-2016, for instance, hackers mounted 458% more vulnerability scans of connected IoT devices—many of them CCTV cameras.
